Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Paul
I've worked for Channels since 1999, running weddings and events, and now I use this experience to help advise and sell our venue to new couples looking for their dream venue. Its a lovely and rewarding role, when you see couples arrive to our venue for the first time, and the WOW factor hits them. Weather its the splendid drive in through the Estate, or the many photographic opportunities they have, the ceremony garden which is "like no other" or the rustic beams and interior of the Barn.
The price per head is for the 4 course wedding breakfast, and doesn't include wine, or other drinks. Please ask for a wedding brochure with menus and costing's inc.
